Mikey

Meet Mikey — The not-so-Gentle Giant Who Hasn't Figured Out His Size Yet! <br/><br/>This handsome 1-year-old Great Dane is looking for his forever home, and he is a lot of dog in the best possible way.<br/><br/>At around 100 pounds (and still acting like a lapdog), Mikey is an affectionate, energetic young man who will absolutely be your shadow, your leaning post, and your personal space invader. If you've ever wanted a dog who is deeply, enthusiastically devoted to you, look no further.<br/><br/>The good stuff: Mikey is potty trained, crate trained and knows his sit and down commands. He walks reasonably well on a leash and loves other confident, large dogs. He's a total sweetheart who just wants to be near his people — and by near, we mean on you.<br/><br/>The real talk: Mikey is a giant puppy with giant puppy energy, and he needs a home that's ready for that. He jumps, he's mouthy, he's exactly the height of the kitchen counter and the concept of personal space is completely lost on him. He sheds, he drools, and he will lean into you with his full body weight because he loves you very, very much. He will need continued obedience training — he's got the foundation; he just needs someone to build on it.<br/><br/>He has a couple of food sensitivities, but his diet is very manageable with off-the-shelf foods (without chicken or peanut butter). Your socks should also probably be kept out of reach — ask us about the baby sock incident. It involves Mikey's enormous mouth and a very fast rescue operation.<br/><br/>Mikey is best suited for a home without small dogs, cats, or young children. Confident teenagers who are comfortable around big, bouncy dogs are just fine by him.<br/><br/>You are an ideal match if you:<br/><br/><br/> Have experience with large or giant breeds<br/> Have an active lifestyle and can match his energy<br/> Don't mind a little drool on your jeans<br/> Are committed to ongoing training needs<br/> Have room in your home and heart for a big, loveable goofball<br/><br/><br/>Mikey has so much love to give and is going to make someone an incredible companion. He just needs a patient, experienced family who will help him learn some manners and grow into the magnificent dog he's already becoming.<br/><br/>Mikey will be available for adoption on March 1, 2026; Paws Across Pittsburgh KL# 16182
